# Reports

> View your company's hours and payroll data and export it to CSV, Excel, or PDF.

The **Reports** screen turns your time data into the numbers you need — total payroll,
hours, overtime, and per-employee breakdowns — and lets you export them. The header reads
**Payroll Reports** — *"View your company's payroll and hours data."*

## Choosing what you see

* **Period** dropdown — defaults to **This Month**.
* **Date range** — optionally override the period with a custom start and end date.

## Metrics at a glance

Metric cards summarize the selected period:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Total Payroll" icon="dollar-sign">
    Total labor cost for the period.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Total Hours" icon="clock">
    All hours worked in the period.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Active Employees" icon="users">
    Employees with time in the period.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Average Rate" icon="arrow-trend-up">
    Average hourly rate across the period.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Overtime Payroll" icon="dollar-sign">
    Cost attributable to overtime.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Overtime Percentage" icon="percent">
    Overtime as a share of total hours.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Two charts visualize trends: **Payroll by Period** and **Hours Worked Trends**.

## Detailed reports and exports

Below the charts, two detail reports let you drill in and export:

* **Payroll by Employee** — each employee's hours (regular and overtime), pay rate, and
  total payroll.
* **Hours by Employee** — each employee's regular, overtime, and total hours.

Each report has an **Export** option offering three formats:

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="CSV" icon="file-csv">
    A plain comma-separated file for spreadsheets and imports.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Excel" icon="file-excel">
    A native `.xlsx` workbook.
  </Card>

  <Card title="PDF" icon="file-pdf">
    A formatted document with your company branding, page numbers, and a timestamp.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Exported files are named by report type and date (for example, `payroll-by-employee-2026-06-17.csv`).

<Tip>
  Reports are scoped to your own company automatically — there's no company picker in the
  client portal, so everything you see and export is just your business's data.
</Tip>

<Note>
  Reports are read-only and available to any signed-in user, including **Viewers**.
